Hunter x Hunter 317

Ya know, trying to translate strategy for a game they don't even tell you the rules of is kinda hard... I just have to assume it's sorta like chess or shogi.

Insert Text: To the tale's conclusion...
[Komugi says musical notes]

Page 4:
Komugi: Oo~~~~~~h! It feels like we haven't played in so so long!!
I play in my dreams, but doing it in really life really is different~~~~~
King: Mm.
Komugi: I suddenly had the feeling like my stomach got kicked really hard, though...
And when I came to my senses I'd been carried off by some weird person...
......But anyway,
then you saved me, great leader, didn't you....!?
King: It wasn't me.
It was my subordinate.
Komugi: BUHAH, is that so!?
Sorry, I jumped to conclusions..........
King: ......

Page 5:
King: I have
people who've passed me...
Komugi: Then if I meet him, I must thank him.
King: ......I'll let him know.
I'll be meeting him soon.
All right, let us begin.
Komugi: Yes, sir!!
King: ......
You asked
what my name was, before...
Komugi: Y-
Yes.

Page 6:
King: My name is Meruem.
Komugi: Meru...em-sama.
My name is Komugi!!
It's very nice to meet you!!
King: ......I know.
..........
...No.
That's right......
I didn't know.
It seems there was... something vastly important......
that I knew nothing of...

Page 7:
Komugi: ?
Meruem-sama......?
King: No need for the "sama".
Komugi: Huh?
King: Don't make me repeat myself!! There's no need for the sama!
Komugi: N-No, I could never!!
I could never address you without an honorific, great leader!!
King: ......
In that case
If I win at Gungi
you must refer to me without "sama".
Komugi: I understand... Ummmmm
Is it okay if I die after I refer to you without an honorific?
King: ......
Ah... Right...
There's no need to die.

Page 8:
King: I'm a tinge different from how I was before.
Prepare yourself for numerous defeats.
Komugi: .....
Yes, sir!!
King: Is there anything you'd like if you win?
Komugi: I would like another game!!
King: I guess that was a foolish question.
Now then, let's go.
1-5-1 Sui.
Komugi: 9-9-1 Sui.
TL Note: Sui = Commander.

Page 9:
King: Could it be...?
7-9-1 Hyou.
Komugi: 2-3-1 Hyou.
King: 2-7-2 Tsutsu.
TL Note: Hyou = Soldier. Tsutsu = Cannon.
Komugi: 7-1-2 Torige
TL Note: Torige = Fortress
This is
Kokoriko?
TL Note: The kanjis read 'Lonely Fox Tanuki Set'. This was the move invented and beaten by Komugi used to beat the king in chapter 247.
King: Komugi...
Are you mocking me...?

Page 10:
Komugi: No.
King: Answer honestly.
I will not tolerate nonsense.
Komugi: Yes.
I never fool around when playing Gungi.
King: All right.
If you lose, I think you have to die after all......!!
Komugi: Yes, sir.
King: Is she saying it's not a lost position......!!?
Has she just meaninglessly adding moves on a near lost position with almost no hope of victory?
By my consideration, she should have had many other paths,
but if by doing this she means
there is a means of escape, then...

Page 11:
King: 9-2-1 Chuujyuu Arata!!
TL Note: Chuujyuu Arata = New Lieutenant General
Now show me
what you'll do next...!!

Page 12:
Komugi: 4-6-2 Shinobi......!
King: Th...
This is......

Page 13:
King: It's true...
A path still lives.....!!
Komugi: I realized it
that night.
King: Silence!!
Let me think!!

Page 14:
King: This is it...!!
This is all it can be!!
2-6-1
It shouldn't reach checkmate!!
But if I can force my opponent closer to me to a degree which will allow me more moves, it will be to my advantage!!
And on the other hand, if she slows down her attack and yields the offensive to me,
there shouldn't be any way for her to prevent giving up the Kiba and Chuujyuul!!
Kiba!!
TL Note: Kiba = Cavalryman. Chuujyuu = Lieutennany General.
It's a gyaku arate!!
Now what will you do!?
Between Frames: Gyaku arate... A move meant to crush a newly established tactic.
TL Note: Gyaku Arate literally = Reverse New Move
King: !!

Page 15:
King: What's wrong...?
Why are you crying...!?
Komugi: ......
I...
Is it.....
all right for me... to feel happiness like this?
Someone......
Someone like me...?

Page 16:
Komugi: Is it okay for so many beautiful things
to happen to me...?
King: As I thought,
I have to tell you.
......
I
have been poisoned.
It won't be long.

Page 17:
Komugi: Meruem-sama.
King: For my last moments......
Komugi.
I wanted to spend them playing this game with you.

Page 18:
King: But
this poison is contagious.
If you're by my side too long
you, too, will...

Page 19:
King: She returned...
the gyaku arate...!?
Komugi: Meruem-sama.
Right now... I am...
very happy.
I'm not good at anything,
but please let me accompany you.

Page 20-21:
King: ...I see.
I was...
Komugi: I'm
sure
I was born for this day...!
King: born for
this moment...!!
